Amazing Things that I Have Seen in Texas.
For ten years, my family and I came to the U.S. one or two times a year to take vacations. We visited many states and cities in this country. However, I noticed many interesting things in Texas.
When I started to live in Texas there were many things that caught my attention. For example, Texans are people who really have a sense of identity and are proud of their state. You can see it in houses, cars ,clothing, and businesses; it is the flag of Texas, the lonestar or some symbol that shows their pride not only for their country but also especially for Texas. Another thing I noticed was the tea. I have tasted sweet tea in other places but in Texas, they really SWEET tea. I was also thinking that Texas was a desert, and I was nicely surprised when I noticed how much vegetation and rivers there were here in Austin and the surrounding cities. Another thing that surprised me was the chicken fried steak; it is not chicken!! OMG you can imagine my surprise when I ordered it and tasted beef!! I said, “ what!?” Why call it chicken if it doesn’t have chicken? Well, nobody has answered me yet. But, the BBQ is really “The BBQ.” It is one of the most delicious things that I have ever eaten in my life. It’s really good. However I have to say that I have one deception about Texas, I did not see authentic cowboys around. I was hoping to see some Clint Eastwood type cowboys (when he was 30-40 years of course). Well, I hope to stay here many years more to discover more interesting things about Texas and maybe some lucky day, I’ll find some handsome cowboy.
